If you are not trying to stick the value of the Project from the current row
into the epression, perhaps you want a Control Source like this:
=DCount("*", "Purchasers", "(Project = ""Oak Ridge"") AND ([Closed date]
Is Null)")
To help you get the expression right, open the Immediate window (Ctrl+G).
You can play with the expression there until you get it right. Just use ?
instead of =, and break it down into smaller chunks until it works, e.g.:
=DCount("*", "Purchasers", "(Project = ""Oak Ridge"")")
Again, if Project is a Number type field in your table (not a Text field),
this example will not match correctly.

Allen, thanks for the quick reply. I am new at this so please bear with
me.
I tried what you suggested and just got error messages.
One control box on the form would read Number of resvdate where Project =
Glen Garden and Closed is empty
the next box on the fomr would read Number of resvdate where Project = Oak
Ridge and Closed in blank(or null)
The project name is text and resvdate and closed are dates
This is a managment report so these would be the only two boxes on the
form

If you want the count to show on each row, matching the project in the
Project field of that record:
=DCount("*", "Purchasers", "(Project = """ & [Project] &
""") AND ([Closed date] Is Null)")
That assumes the Project field is Text.
Lose the extra quotes if it is a Number type field.
I have a table Purchasers that has fields named, Project, Resvdate,
Conv,Closed. I would like to be able to count the number of Resvdate
when
the
project = "Oak Ridge" and the Closed date is Null. On the same form
another
line have the same expression but with the Project = "Glen Garden"
Not sure if I should try an IIF statement or a Dcount.
